B-cycle preparing for August expansion

Add bike sharing to the list of things of which San Antonio is better than New York City. Breakfast tacos would be the other thing on the list. I know, I know, the Big Apple, which launched a bike-share program a few months ago, is much larger, and of course there will be more glitches because there are more bikes and docking stations. Still, it’s full-steam ahead for San Antonio B-cycle.

In August, San Antonio B-cycle should reach its 2013 goal of 50 stations with another expansion:

B-cycle also would like to install a docking station at 506 S. Main Ave., but it needs the permission of H-E-B Grocery Co., first, because the grocery company owns the land. It seems like it would fit perfectly with its request to close a block of Main Avenue from Chavez Boulevard south. More on that this week.
